For example, in Para.2 he creates an unfavorable image of Mr. Fleagle by describing his "formal, rigid and hopelessly out-of-date"eyeglasses, hairstyle, clothes, jaw, nose, and manner of speaking.What’s more, Russell baker employs repetition not only to m ake it easy for readers to follow what he is saying, but to impress them more deeply. For example, in Para. 2, there are 9 prim’s or primly’s in as few as 3 sentences! Thus readers will have in their mind a vivid picture of what Mr. Fleagle looked like. Another example of such repetition can be found in Para. 5. Count how many I wanted there are in this paragraph (there’re 5!). They help to emphasize Russell Baker’s strong desire to write for himself.On the other hand, where this stylistic device is not justified, Baker is also expert in avoiding repetition by employing synonymous words and phrases.Step Two Language Study1. off and on (or on and off): from time to time, now and again, irregularlye.g.: As her patient slept soundly during the night, Nurse Betty was able to doze off and on in2. take hold: become establishede.g.: Old habits die hard.

Therefore it provides ample examples of how English is spoken in daily life by native speakers.In spoken English sentences tend to be short and simple. Some sentences are incomplete.Besides, some words or phrases do not usually find their way into written English, for example, sort of, kind of, you know, I think, I guess, I take it, well, go ahead, hang out, it’s no fun to do sth., not much of a hand at doing sth., a couple of, every now and then, an awful lot.From the text one can conclude that the narrator is very good at keeping the conversation going. For one thing, he expresses his agreement to show the cabbie what a sympathetic listener he is. For another, he asks questions directly to get more information out of the cabbie.Step Two Language Study1. be lost in/lose oneself in: be absorbed in, be fully occupied withe.g.: He was lost in playing computer games so he was unaware of my entering the room.2. available: able to be used, had, or reachede.g.: Since 1990, the amount of money available to buy books has fallen by 17%.3. or something: used when you are not very sure about what you have just saide.g.: The air fare was a hundred and ninety-nine pounds or something.

Expository writings usually employ longer paragraphs in which there are longer and more involved sentences. Simply glance over the first page of Text A, Unit 2 and the first page of Text A, Unit 3, and you will see the latter is more closely packed than the former. For the purpose of objectivity, third-person narration is often adopted in exposition. Meanwhile, sentences in the passive voice appear regularly.A typical piece of expository writing begins with a statement of opinion, then goes on to give supporting details. In this text, an opinion is advanced in Para. 3, i.e., the public need education in science so as to make informed decisions on their own fate. In the following paragraphs the author details the ways to educate the public. In the last paragraph a conclusion is supplied -- human civilization will survive if the public understand science well.Interestingly, if we look closer at Part II of this text, we will find it to be a mini-exposition, its topic being how to educate the public in science. Afterwards three concrete solutions are proposed. They are: science education in schools, replacing equations with words and diagrams, and making use of popular media such as newspapers, magazines and above all TV.Albert Einstein (1879-1955): a physicist, born in Germany, who was possibly the greatest scientist of the 20th century. In 1905 he published his theory of relativity. This led to the equation giving the relationship between mass and energy, E=mc2 , which is the basis of atomic energy Einstein suggested how it could be used for making weapons, but after World War II he spoke publicly against nuclear weapons. By 1917, he had become famous all over the world. He was given the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921. When Hitler came to power, Einstein, who was Jewish went to live in the US, becoming a US citizen in 1940. In 1933 he wrote a book called Why War?with Sigmund Freud. He became a professor at Princeton University in 1934, and he spent the rest of his life looking, without success, for a theory that combined those of gravitation and electromagnetism. In 1952 he was offered the presidency of the state of Israel, but did not accept it. Step Two Language Study1. likely:1) probable (When functioning as an a., the word is often used in the following patterns it is likelythat .... be likely to do sth.)e.g.: It is likely that my roommate will win the first-class scholarship.Economists say that the quick economic growth is likely to continue throughout the 2010s. 2) probably (When used as an ad., the word is often preceded by "most", "more than", or "very".You don't use it as an ad. on its own.)e.g.: It is reported that another sandstorm will very likely come in the next 24 hours.2. do without:manage to survive, continue, or succeed although you do not have sth. you need,want, or usu. havee.g.: You'll have to do without your dinner if you don't get back in time.3. highly:1) verye.g.: Mr. Smith was a highly successful salesman.It seems highly likely that she will take the job.2) to a high level or standarde.g.: Most of the people present at the meeting are highly educated women.4. anyway: (used to change the subject of a conversation or to support an idea or argument) anyhowe.g.: We ought to spend less on the defence missiles, which I think are pretty useless anyway.5. put/turn the clock back:return to a situation that used to exist, usually because the presentsituation is unpleasante.g.: The employment bill in which women are not allowed to take jobs will put the clock backfifty years.6. cut off: stop providing (sth.)e.g.: Water and electricity supplies in the city have been cut off because of the American air attacks.Their phone has been cut off because they haven't paid the bill.7. bring about: make (sth.) happene.g.: Some educators are hoping to bring about major changes in the educational system.8. moreover: in addition to what has been said; further; besidese.g.: Local people would like a new road.

Time words and phrases serve as transitional devices by which an author switches from one event to another. The latter event may take place either before or after the former, which allows an author freedom in narration. For example, Text A in Unit 1 thus becomes a piece of narration interspersed with flash- backs. For another example, the author of this text is able to keep his narration concise by simply recounting Tony's steps toward success, since the time phrases make it unnecessary to squeeze in too many details about how he succeeded during each step.However, we are not saying that details are unimportant. Those details vital to the story development are carefully inserted into the text. For example, why is Tony's faulty English sentence "I mow your lawn" repeated four times? That's because it shows Tony's determination in finding a job, and his optimistic view that people would help a man who needed a job.Besides, does the author himself ever make a statement claiming Tony to be a good worker? No. He makes you infer from other people's compliments (e.g., "my wife said he was very helpful"; the personnel department "said Tony was a very good worker"; "I got a report that he had graduated as a skilled grinder"; when Tony died, people found "the farm green with vegetables, the little house livable and homey. There were a tractor and a good car in the yard. The children were educated and working, and Tony didn't owe a cent.")Or consider the three instances where Tony's physical appearance is described. They present an increasingly well-to-do Tony. Or, have you noticed that Tony had remained standing when he talked to Mr. Crawford until in Line 65 "we sat down and talked"? Tony's social status improved enough to allow him to sit down with Mr. Crawford.Step Two Language Study1. turn away: refuse to help (sb.) or to allow (sb.) to enter a placee.g.: He's my son after all, I can't just turn him away when he is in trouble.The lecture hall was already full and many of the students were turned away.2. work out: plan; solve; calculatee.g.: Finally I worked out that the parcel had been sent to Paris by mistake.My mother allowed me to take the trip, but asked me to work out the total cost first.3. clean up: make clean and tidye.g.: I'll go shopping with you as soon as I've cleaned up the kitchen.4. determination: the ability to continue trying to achieve what you have decided to do even whenthis is difficult (uncountable noun, often followed by infinitive to)e.g.: He showed great determination by continuing to play after hurting his foot.5. personnel:1) the department in a large company or organization that deals with employees, keeps theirrecords, and helps with any problem they might have; humanresources (uncountable noun, used with a singular or plural verb)e.g.: Personnel has/have received your application form.2) all the persons working in an organization, in the army, etc. (used with a plural verb)e.g.: All personnel in this company are entitled to medical insurance.6. capacity: the ability to understand or do sth. (often followed by for or infinitive to)e.g.: Those math problems were beyond my capacity.I don't think it's within a five-year-old boy's capacity to spread computer viruses.7. turn down: refusee.g.: He was offered the job but he turned it down because it involved too much traveling.8. wreck: sth. such as a ship, car, plane, or building which has been destroyed, usu. in an accidente.g.: We thought of buying the house as a wreck, doing it up, then selling it.9. loan:v. lend (sth.)e.g.: He had kindly offered to loan me all the books required for the examination.n.1) a sum of money that you borrowe.g.: The president wants to make it easier for small businesses to get bank loans.。

Ask t he students‘ to prepare the next unit (2 minutes)I.Text AnalysisRussell Baker is very good at selecting details (see Part IV Writing Strategy) to prove his point. For example, in Para. 2 he creates an unfavorable image of Mr. Fleagle by describing his ―fo rmal, rigid and hopelessly out-of-date‖ eyeglasses, hairstyle, clothes, jaw, nose, and manner of speaking.What‘s more, Russell Baker employs repletion not only to make it easy for readers to follow what he is saying, but also to impress them more deeply. For example, in Para. 2, there are 9 prim’s or primly’s in as few as 3 sentences! Thus readers will have in their mind a vivid picture of what Mr. Fleagle looked like. Another example of such repetition can be found in Para. 5. Count how many I wanted‘s t here are in this paragraph (there are 5!). They help to emphasize Russell Baker‘s strong desire to write for himself.On the other hand, where this stylistic device is not justified, Baker is also expert in avoiding repetition by employing synonymous words and phrases. Here are some examples:a.dull, lifeless, cheerless, tediousb.turn out, write, compose, put downc.recapture, relived.topic, titleII.Cultural notes1.Grade schools in the US.: It is necessary to have some knowledge of grade schools in theU.S. because Ss have to realize that ―the third year in high school‖ (para. 1) equals ―the eleventh grade‖ (para. 9). U.S. students generally go through elementary schools (kindergarten to 5th or 6th grade), middle schools (grades 6-8) or junior highs schools (grades 7-9), and high schools (grades 9-12 or 10-12).2.What American teachers wear in school: Nowadays, people in the U. S. love to dresscausally. Even among those companies with a rigid dress code some now allow employees not to wear suits on Fridays. U.S. teachers were fairly formal clothes to school, but not necessarily suits and ties. Bow ties are considered even more old-fashioned than ties.3.Spaghetti and the proper way of eating it: Spaghetti is the Italian-style thin noodle, cookedb boiling and served with sauce. Usually you would put a fork into a plate of spaghetti, turnthe fork several times so that spaghetti will wind around the fork, then place the fork into your mouth.
